- a heat accumulator, an exhaust heat recovery device, a heater core, and a water pump are sequentially disposed downstream of the engine.
- a position immediately downstream of the heat accumulator and a position immediately upstream of the water pump are connected by a bypass pipe.
- the cooling water flowing out of the engine directly flows into the heat accumulator, and thus the temperature of the cooling water in the heat accumulator gradually decreases.
- the temperature rise of the engine at the time of start is suppressed.
- the flow path of the cooling water flowing through the bypass pipe is switched to allow the cooling water to pass through the exhaust heat recovery device, thereby raising the temperature of the cooling water.
- the cooling water flowing out of the engine circulates in a manner of temporarily flowing into the heat accumulator and flowing out and then flowing into the engine through the exhaust heat recovery device and the heater core sequentially.
- the temperature of the cooling water is raised by the heat of the exhaust gas.
- the cooling circuit of the above device in a case that even if all of the high-temperature cooling water in the heat accumulator is supplied to the engine, the temperature of the cooling water flowing out of the engine is lower than the above-mentioned predetermined temperature, that is, lower than the temperature of switching conditions to allow the cooling water to pass through the exhaust heat recovery device, and the engine is not warmed up sufficiently, the fuel consumption may be reduced or the exhaust characteristics may be deteriorated when the engine is operated in the above mentioned state. Additionally, the cooling water having a higher temperature may be accumulated in the heat accumulator to make the heat energy of the heat accumulator as large as possible.
- the temperature of the engine also increases and knocking is thereby prone to occur, which may cause the fuel consumption to increase.
- An embodiment of the disclosure provides a heat accumulation and dissipation device for internal combustion engine (a cooling device 1 of an embodiment (hereinafter the same applies in this technical solution)).

- the high-temperature cooling water in the heat accumulator 7 is sent and supplied to the engine 2 via the fourth flow path 8 d of the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 and the fifth flow path 4 e of the main circuit 4 . That is, the heat stored in the heat accumulator 7 is dissipated to the engine 2 , and thereby raising the temperature of the engine 2 .
- the cooling water flowing out of the engine 2 and having a temperature lower than that of the cooling water in the heat accumulator 7 is sent to the exhaust heat recovery device 9 via the first flow path 4 a of the main circuit 4 and then flows through the cooling water flow path inside the exhaust heat recovery device 9 to thereby be heated by the heat of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas flow path. Then, the cooling water flowing out of the exhaust heat recovery device 9 branches at the connection position Q of the second flow path 4 b of the main circuit 4 , and flows into the heat accumulator 7 via the first flow path 8 a , the second flow path 8 b and the third flow path 8 c of the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 .
- FIG. 5 shows an operation state of the engine 2 after the warm-up, in which the thermostat 11 opens since the temperature of the cooling water rises and the cooling water also flows in the radiator circuit 6 in addition to the main circuit 4 and the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 shown in FIG. 4 .
- the cooling water flowing out of the engine 2 circulates so as to flow sequentially through the first flow path 6 a , the radiator 5 , and the second flow path 6 b of the radiator circuit 6 , the thermostat 11 , as well as the fourth flow path 4 d and the fifth flow path 4 e of the main circuit 4 and flow into the engine 2 .
- the cooling water passing through the thermostat 11 joins the cooling water flowing through the third flow path 4 c at the connection position P of the main circuit 4 .
- the cooling water discharged from the water pump 12 joins the high-temperature cooling water flowing out of the heat accumulator 7 at the connection position R of the main circuit 4 and then flows into the engine 2 .
- the cooling water circulating in the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 as described above the cooling water heated by the exhaust heat recovery device 9 is sent to the engine 2 while being accumulated in the heat accumulator 7 . Accordingly, the high-temperature cooling water is accumulated in the heat accumulator 7 and the heat thereof is stored.
- the flow rate regulation valve 15 and the heat accumulator pump 16 of the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 are controlled as follows according to the inflow water temperature TWI detected by the inflow water temperature sensor 18 .
- the inflow water temperature TWI is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature
- at least one of the flow rate regulation valve 15 and the heat accumulator pump 16 is controlled so as to reduce the flow rate of the cooling water flowing out of the heat accumulator 7 .
- the flow rate regulation valve 15 is controlled to reduce the opening degree of the flow rate regulation valve 15
- the heat accumulator pump 16 is controlled to reduce the rotation speed of the heat accumulator pump 16 .
- the exhaust heat recovery device 9 is arranged upstream of the heat accumulator 7 , and thus even if the capacity of the heat accumulator 7 for accumulating cooling water is small, high-temperature cooling water can still be continuously supplied from the heat accumulator 7 to the engine 2 during the heat dissipation by the heat accumulator 7 .
- the heat accumulator 7 can be configured compactly and the engine 2 being started can be warmed up at an early stage.
- the cooling water that flows out of the engine 2 is constantly heated by the exhaust heat recovery device 9 and then flows into the heat accumulator 7 , and thus high-temperature cooling water can be accumulated in the heat accumulator 7 during the heat accumulation by the heat accumulator 7 .
- the exhaust heat recovery device 9 is disposed in the common flow paths (the first flow path 4 a and the second flow path 4 b of the main circuit 4 ) of the main circuit 4 and the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 , the flow path of the entire cooling circuit can be shortened and the cooling water can be circulated efficiently compared with a case in which the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 is configured with a circulation flow path independent of the main circuit 4 .
- the flow speed or the flow rate of the cooling water circulating through the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 can be regulated.
- the heat accumulation and dissipation by the heat accumulator 7 can be appropriately regulated according to the operation state of the engine 2 .
- the inflow water temperature TWI is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature
- the temperature rise of the engine 2 can be suppressed by decreasing the flow rate of the high-temperature cooling water flowing out of the heat accumulator 7 and supplied to the engine 2 , and thereby the occurrence of knocking can be avoided and the deterioration of fuel consumption can be prevented.
- the disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and can be implemented in various aspects.
- the case is described in which the heat accumulation and dissipation device of the disclosure is applied to the cooling device 1 of a vehicle equipped with the engine 2 as a drive source.
- the heat accumulation and dissipation device of the disclosure may also be applied to a cooling device of a hybrid vehicle equipped with, in addition to the engine 2 , a motor as a drive source.
- the detailed configuration of the main circuit 4 , the radiator circuit 6 and the heat accumulation and dissipation circuit 8 of the cooling circuit 3 , as well as the heat accumulator 7 and the exhaust heat recovery device 9 shown in the embodiment are for purposes of illustration only, and changes may be appropriately made without departing from the spirit of the disclosure.
